My Son said if I did Luke Cage I need to do Iron Fist too. Al I have been looking at She-Hulk in the FF uniform. Spiderman would be pretty cool too.

I ordered more after I finished The Thing, so while I am waiting on those to get here I will be working on something else I am excited about, if it comes out it should be pretty fun. I have been enjoying working on these so much I haven't worked on the Black Canary Challenge 08, I am not great at drawing, Lars is multi talented I saw his work on the sketchbook thread, very nice!!!!

How about this: A My Pretty Pony Spider-Man from his appearance in Fantastic Four when his costume was damaged and he had to wear a Fantastic Four costume . . . and a paper bag on his head in place of his mask?

First of all, thanks for the kind words Jodi. (blush)
And WOW!
Luke Cage : Power Pony is great!
(put my vote in for the Iron Fist request)
I literally do Not know how you manage to paint the ponies in
such smooth coats. Airbrush?
Your finished product is store quality. It doesn't look
'home-made' at all. Excellent effort.
(I showed my daughter, and she wants to tell you she's a fan your work. :) )

Okay folks, got a bunch of pics of my latest project (started this one over two years ago . . . glad to be getting done with it!). Here's how it started out -- one scratch-built Captain Marvel JLU head sculpt:

Painted:

Some donor body parts from a Superman figure and a phasing Martian Manhunter figure; used Kneadatite ("Green Stuff") for the first time to sculpt the details and the cape:

Then shot with a coat of primer to bring it all together (I etched the lightning bolt on his chest with a Dremel tool bit):

Here's how things look now -- spent the past couple of weeks applying coats of paint . . . somewhere between the gray primer and the final product I shot it with matte white Krylon Fusion, which really made it "pop" (that also worked out to be the final coat for the cape):

The rope for the cape is also made of Kneadatite -- that was the primary hold-up on getting this thing finished; I just couldn't bring myself ot finish the rope and "buttons" for the cape, and I was dreading doing the yellow edging for the cape (the sculpting is the "fun" part for me . . . the painting is where everything can so so wrong so quickly, which makes it my least favorite part).

I still need to glue the cape on (it hangs nicely, but it's not even secure enough for static display without gluing), then shoot it all with a clear satin finish to seal it. I'll probably pick up a base for it since it's a bit top-heavy (aren't ALL the JLU figs top-heavy without a stand?), then I plan to take a few final pics for the fall CustomCon. After that, it's probably going on eBay (so if any of you Captain Marvel fans are interested, feel free to drop me a line via the e-mail link here!).

Pretty proud of this one . . . kind of embarrassed that it took so long to finish.

He looks outstanding, John! And if we were to dig out old projects still unfinished, well, I'd be well onto page 8 or 9 before I was done (just don't make me wait too long for that other red and yellow project I know you have going on).

All you customizers have MUCH to be proud of! The closest I ever got was painting a grey base-coat on a Marvel Spider-Woman (black costumed Julia Carpenter) to turn into a Troia. I completely lost interest after that madness.

Steve I used to do the figures more, the only problem was, I would do a figure then they would make it, I did a ton of Star Wars that Hasbro produced at a later date, which got old really fast. So I have enjoyed doing figures I know, will never be made.
